Yahweh hates wickedness ... is it ever good ?

if only love and commitment and a deep meaningful relationship with another were biological imperatives

??? what ?

Some animals have lifetime love, commitment and meaningful deep relationships with their mates for life. (i.e. ingrained, or biological, or inherited/ whatever).

People did until the fall.

New Creations can show this also - this is perhaps one sure sign that someone is a new creation - they are abiding every day in Jesus, living every day showing His Obedience, Faith and Joy and Love in their lives and with one another in Him. See this in the NT - first. It is difficult or near impossible to see if it is not first seen in Scripture by Yahweh's revelation (to little children of the truth/ His Way) ....

footnote: This thread has been let go, far from Anabaptist faith, belief, teachings and practices.....
Not a 'concern' per se - been watching to see who posts in line with Scripture and who does not.


But let the readers be aware, even though this is in the Anabaptists section,
there has not been time nor inclination to try and moderate any of the posts/ the thread at all - it just sort of took off, and kept going, .... .... ...

i.e. many thoughts posted are not in line with faithful Anabaptists lives and beliefs.

In other sections, obviously, this happens continuously.

Not so often in the Anabaptist section , not so much at least, as now, recently.

It would have to look like a duck first.

When a roast beef or hamburger is called a fish, it still doesn't look like a fish.... does it ?

We don't need them to be. We pursue them because they are valuable not because we are instinctually driven toward them.
